Inlinit 0.1.2

A new design pattern to allow closure initialization.

Usage

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Motivation

The desire is to initialize within a closure for unique customization while allowing the ability to use constants.

Example 1

Previous Code

// needs to be "var" to allow append below
var randomNumbersArray: [Int] = []

for _ in 0...10 {

    randomNumbersArray.append(Int(arc4random_uniform(100)))

}

New Code

// can now use let and append within initializer closure
let randomNumbersArray: [Int] {

    for _ in 0...10 {

        $0.append(Int(arc4random_uniform(100)))

    }

}
Example 2
struct Person: Inlinit {

    var age: Int = 0
    var name: String?

}

// initialize & set properties
var me = Person {

    $0.name = "Jo"
    $0.age = 32

}

// update properties
me <- {

    $0.age = 30
    $0.name = "John"

}
Example 3
func newLabel(text: String) -> UILabel {

    let label: UILabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 10, y: 10, width: 100, height: 40))

    label.text = text
    label.textColor = UIColor.magentaColor()

    return label

}

newLabel("This is lame...")

New Code

func newLabel(text: String) -> UILabel {

    return UILabel {

        $0.frame = CGRect(x: 10, y: 10, width: 100, height: 40)
        $0.textColor = UIColor.magentaColor()

    }.text = text

}

newLabel("This is Awesome!")

So many possibilities unlocked with this new design pattern
